To create novel tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) germplasm, a wild relative, S. pimpinellifolium (a red-fruited LA1585 accession), was used as the male parent to cross with yellow-fruited mutant, e9292 (S. lycopersicum). Forty-four morphological characteristics were examined in present study; 22 (LA1585) traits and six lycopersicum (e9292) dominant hybrids (first generation, F1); 10 intermediate t...

MONG the widely divergent results obtained from “quantitative A character” crosses one common type is characterized by (a) F1 mean approaching that of the smaller parent strain and (b) positive skewness in the frequency distribution of Fz measurements. Among many examples might be cited crosses involving differences of corolla tube length in tobacco (EAST 1913; SMITH 1937), fruit size in squash...

Scarlet (Solanum aethiopicum) and gboma (S. macrocarpon) eggplants are major vegetable crops in sub-Saharan Africa. Together with their respective wild ancestors (S. anguivi and S. dasyphyllum) and intermediate cultivated-wild forms they constitute the so-called scarlet and gboma eggplant complexes. We used conventional descriptors and the high-throughput phenomics tool Tomato Analyzer for char...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The distribution of canopy growth among different shoot types such as epicormic, long and short shoots is not well understood in the peach tree. In this experiment, the effects of crop load and early epicormic sprout removal on current and subsequent-year distribution of vegetative growth among epicormic, long and short shoots was investigated in Prunus persica. METHODS Fi...

this specialty fruit and was responsive to the industry need for reliably tested freestone varieties. A sequence of similar varieties over a period as long as for peaches is envisioned. As was true with peaches, main crop apricot varieties were static for many years. As a consequence, the varieties, mostly of European origin, became less well suited to changing market demands. Commercial drying...
